2. STL2 Server Board Architecture Overview
The architecture of the STL2 server board is based on a design that supports dual-processor operation with Intel Pentium III processors and the ServerWorks ServerSet III LE chipset.
The STL2 server contains embedded devices for video, Network Interface Card (NIC), SCSI, and IDE. The STL2 server board also provides support for server management and monitoring hardware, and interrupt control that supports dual-processor and PC/AT compatible operation.
The section provides an overview of the following STL2 subsystems:
• Pentium III processor subsystem • SeverWorks ServerSet III LE chipset • Memory • PCI subsystem • Chipset support components • BMC server management controller
2.1 Intel® Pentium® III Processor Subsystem The STL2 server board is designed to accommodate one or two Intel Pentium III processors for the PGA370 socket. The Pentium III processor for the PGA370 socket is the next member of the P6 family in the Intel IA-32 processor line. This processor uses the same core and offers the same performance as the Intel Pentium III processor for the SC242 connector, but utilizes a FC-PGA. This package utilizes the same 370-pin zero-insertion force socket (PGA370) used by the Intel® Celeron™ processor.
The STL2 server board utilizes Pentium III PGA370 socket processors, which interface with the front side bus at 133 MHz.
2.1.1 Supported Processor Types The table below summarizes the processors that are planned to be supported on the STL2 server board:

667 MHz 133 MHz 256 K
STL2 Server Board Architecture Overview STL2 Server Board TPS
Revision 1.1 2-4
2.1.2 Dual Processor Operation The Pentium III processor interface is designed to be multi-processor (MP)-ready. Each processor contains a local Intel Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (APIC) section for interrupt handling. When two processors are installed, both processors must be of identical revision, core voltage, and bus/core speeds.
2.1.3 PGA370 Socket The STL2 server board provides two PGA370 sockets. These are 370-pin zero-insertion force (ZIF) sockets that a FC-PGA package technology processor plugs into.
2.1.4 Processor Bus Termination / Regulation / Power The termination circuitry required by the Intel Pentium III processor bus (AGTL+) signaling environment, and the circuitry to set the AGTL+ reference voltage, are implemented directly on the processor. The STL2 server board provides VRM 8.4 compliant DC-to-DC converters to provide processor power ,Voltage Controlled Current Plane (VCCP), at each PGA370 socket. The server board provides an embedded VRM for the primary processor and a VRM socket for the secondary processor. These are powered from the +5-V supply.
2.1.5 Termination Package If a processor is not installed in a PGA370 socket, a termination package must be installed in the vacant socket to ensure reliable termination.
2.1.6 APIC Bus Interrupt notification and generation for the processors is done using an independent path between local APICs in each processor and the I/O APIC located in the IB6566 South Bridge component.
2.1.7 Boxed Processors The Intel Pentium III processor for the PGA370 socket is offered as an Intel boxed processor. Intel boxed processors are intended for system integrators who build systems from a server board and standard components.
2.1.7.1 Boxed Process Fan Heatsinks
The boxed Pentium III processor for the PGA370 socket will be supplied with an unattached fan heatsink that has an integrated clip. Clearance is required around the fan heatsink to ensure unimpeded airflow for proper cooling. Note that the airflow of the fan heatsink is into the center and out of the sides of the fan heatsink. The boxed processor thermal solution must be installed by a system integrator to secure the thermal cooling solution to the processor after it is installed in the 370-pin ZIF socket.
The boxed processor’s fan heatsink requires a +12-V power supply. A fan power cable is attached to the fan and connects to processor fan headers on the STL2 server board.
STL2 Server Board TPS STL2 Server Board Architecture Overview
Revision 1.1

The boxed processor fan heatsink will keep the processor core at the recommended junction temperature, as long as airflow through the fan heatsink is unimpeded. It is recommended that the air temperature entering the fan inlet be below 45 °C (measured at 0.3 inches above the fan hub).
2.2 ServerWorks ServerSet III LE Chipset The ServerWorks ServerSet III LE chipset provides an integrated I/O bridge and memory controller and a flexible I/O subsystem core (PCI), targeted for multiprocessor systems and standard high-volume servers that are based on the Intel Pentium III processor. The ServerWorks ServerSet III LE chipset consists of two components:
• NB6635 North Bridge 3.0 LE The NB6635 North Bridge 3.0 LE is responsible for accepting access requests from the host (processor) bus and for directing those accesses to memory or to one of the PCI buses. The NB6635 North Bridge 3.0 LE monitors the host bus, examining addresses for each request. Accesses may be directed to a memory request queue for subsequent forwarding to the memory subsystem, or to an outbound request queue for subsequent forwarding to one of the PCI buses. The NB6635 North Bridge 3.0 LE is reponsible for controlling data transfers to and from the memory. The NB6635 North Bridge 3.0 LE provides the interface for both the 64-bit/66-MHz, Revision 2.2-compliant PCI bus and the 32-bit/33-MHz, Revision 2.2-compliant PCI bus. The NB6635 North Bridge 3.0 LE is both a master and target on both PCI buses.
• IB6566 South Bridge The IB6566 South Bridge controller has several components. It can be both a master and a target on the 32-bit/33-MHz PCI bus. The IB6566 South Bridge also includes a USB controller and an IDE controller. The IB6566 South Bridge is responsible for many of the power management functions, with Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) control registers built in. The IB6566 South Bridge provides a number of Infiniband pins.
2.3 Memory The STL2 server board contains four 168-pin DIMM sockets. Memory is partitioned as four banks of registered SDRAM DIMMs, each of which provides 72 bits of noninterleaved memory (64-bit main memory plus ECC).
The STL2 server board supports up to four 3.3-V, registered ECC SDRAM DIMMs that are compliant with the JEDEC PC133 specification. A wide range of DIMM sizes are supported, including 64 MB, 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, and 1-GB DIMMs. The minimum supported memory configuration is 64 MB using one DIMM. The maximum configurable memory size is 4 GB using four DIMMs.
Note: Neither PC100 DIMMs nor non-ECC DIMMs can be used.
DIMMs may be installed in one, two, three, or four DIMM slots and must be populated starting with the lowest numbered slot and filling the slots in consecutive order. Empty memory slots between DIMMs are not supported. Although the STL2 server board architecture allows the user to mix various sizes of DIMMS, Intel recommends that module and DRAM vendors not be mixed in the same server system.

System memory begins at address 0 and is continuous (flat addressing) up to the maximum amount of DRAM installed (exception: system memory is noncontiguous in the ranges defined as memory holes using configuration registers). The server board supports both base (conventional) and extended memory.
2.4 PCI I/O Subsystem The expansion capabilities of the STL2 server board meet the needs of file and application servers for high performance I/O by providing two PCI bus segments in the form of one 64-bit / 66-MHz bus segment and one 32-bit / 33-MHz bus segment. Each of the PCI buses comply with Revision 2.2 of the PCI Local Bus Specification.
2.4.1 64-bit / 66 MHz PCI Subsystem The 64-bit, 66-MHz, 3.3-V keyed PCI segment includes the following embedded devices and connectors:
• Two 64-bit, 66-MHz, 3.3-V keyed PCI expansion slots that can support 66-MHz, 64/32-bit cards or 33-MHz, 64/32-bit cards.
• Integrated Adaptec AIC-7899 PCI dual-port SCSI controller providing separate Ultra160 and Ultra Wide SCSI channels
64-bit PCI features include:
• Bus speed up to 66 MHz • 3.3-V signaling environment • Burst transfers up to a peak of 528 Megabytes per second (MBps) • 8-, 16-, 32-, or 64-bit data transfers • Plug-and-Play ready • Parity enabled
Note: If a 33-MHz PCI board is installed into one of the 64-bit PCI slots, the bus speed for the 66-MHz PCI slots and SCSI controller is decreased to 33-MHz.
2.4.1.1 Ultra160 / Ultra WideSCSI Controller
The STL2 server board includes an Adaptec AIC7899. This is an embedded dual-function, PCI SCSI host adapter on the 64-bit/66-MHz PCI bus. The AIC7899 contains two independent SCSI controllers that share a single PCI bus master interface as a multi-function device. Internally, each controller is identical, capable of operations using either 16-bit Single Ended (SE) or Low Voltage Differential (LVD) SCSI providing 40 MBps (Ultra-wide SE) or 160 MBps (Ultra160). The STL2 server board provides the ability to disable the embedded Ultra160 SCSI controller in the BIOS Setup option. When disabled, it will not be visible to the operating system.

In the STL2 server board implementation, channel A provides a 68-pin, 16-bit LVD Ultra160 SCSI interface. Channel B provides a 68-pin, 16-bit SE Ultra Wide SCSI interface. Each controller has its own set of PCI configuration registers and SCSI I/O registers. As a PCI 2.1/2.2 bus master, the AIC-7899 supports burst data transfers on PCI up to the maximum rate of 133 MBps using on-chip buffers.
Refer to the AIC-7899 PCI-Dual Channel SCSI Multi-Function Controller Data Manual for more information on the internal operation of this device and for descriptions of SCSI I/O registers.
2.4.1.1.1 AIC-7899 Supported PCI Commands
The AIC-7899 supports PCI commands as shown in the following table:

3. Support for 32-bit transfers only for the external ROM/ EEPROM.
4. Support for transfers from system memory.
5. Defaults to Memory Read.
6. Will respond to DAC if PCI Address matches the MBAR[63:12].
STL2 Server Board Architecture Overview STL2 Server Board TPS
Revision 1.1 2-8
7. Defaults to Memory Write.
The extensions to memory commands (memory read multiple, memory read line, and memory write and invalidate) work with the cache line size register to give the cache controller advance knowledge of the minimum amount of data to expect. The decision to use either the memory read line or memory read multiple commands is determined by a bit in the configuration space command register for this device.
2.4.1.1.2 SCSI Bus
The SCSI data bus is 8 or 16 bits wide with odd parity generated per byte. SCSI control signals are the same for either bus width. To accommodate 8-bit devices on the 16-bit wide SCSI connector, the AIC-7899 assigns the highest arbitration priority to the low byte of the 16-bit word. This way, 16-bit targets can be mixed with 8-bit if the 8-bit devices are placed on the low data byte. For 8-bit mode, the unused high data byte is self-terminated and does not need to be connected. During chip power-down, all inputs are disabled to reduce power consumption.
2.4.2 32-bit/33 MHz PCI Subsystem The 32-bit, 33-MHz, 5-V keyed PCI includes the following embedded devices and connectors:
• Four 32-bit, 33-MHz, 5-V keyed PCI expansion slots • Integrated Intel® EtherExpress™ PRO100+ 10/100 megabit PCI Ethernet controller
(Intel® 82559) • Integrated ATI Rage* IIC video controller with 4 MB of on-board SGRAM • IB6566 South Bridge I/O APIC, PCI-to- Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) bridge, IDE
controller, USB controller, and power management.
32-bit PCI features include:
• Bus speed up to 33 MHz • 5-V signaling environment • Burst transfers up to a peak of 132 MBps • 8-, 16-, or 32-bit data transfers • Plug-and-Play ready • Parity enabled
2.4.2.1 Network Interface Controller (NIC)
The STL2 server board includes a 10Base-T / 100Base-TX network controller that is based on the Intel® 82559 Fast Ethernet PCI Bus Controller. This device is similar in architecture to its predecessor (Intel® 82558). No external devices are required to implement an embedded network subsystem, other than TX/RX magnetics, two status Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), and a connector.
Status LEDs are not included on the external NIC connector, but there is a jumper head (6A) where status LEDs may be connected. The STL2 server board provides the ability to disable the embedded NIC in the BIOS Setup option. When disabled it is not visible to the operating system.
The 82559 is a highly integrated PCI Local Area Network (LAN) controller for 10 or 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet networks. As a PCI bus master, the 82559 can burst data at up to 132 MBps. This

high-performance bus master interface can eliminate the intermediate copy step in RX/TX frame copies, resulting in faster frame processing.
The network operating system (OS) communicates with the 82559 using a memory-mapped I/O interface, PCI interrupt connected directly to the I/O Controller Hub (ICH), and two large receive and transmit FIFOs. The receive and transmit FIFOs prevent data overruns or underruns while waiting for access to the PCI bus, and also enable back-to-back frame transmission within the minimum 960ns inter-frame spacing.

2.4.2.3 IB6566 South Bridge
The IB6566 South Bridge is a PCI device that provides multiple PCI functions in a single package: PCI-to-ISA bridge, PCI IDE interface, PCI USB controller, and power management controller. Each function within the IB6566 South Bridge has its own set of configuration registers. Once configured, each appears to the system as a distinct hardware controller sharing the same PCI bus interface.
On the STL2 baseboard, the primary role of the IB6566 South Bridge is to provide the gateway to all PC-compatible I/O devices and features. The STL2 server board uses the following IB6566 South Bridge features:
• PCI interface • IDE interface • USB interface • PC-compatible timer/counters and Direct Memory Access (DMA) controllers • Baseboard Plug-and-Play support • General purpose I/O • Power management • APIC and 82C59 interrupt controller • Host interface for AT compatible signaling • Internal only ISA bus (no ISA expansion connectors) bridge for communication with Super
I/O, BIOS flash and BMC
The following sections describe each supported feature as used on the STL2 server board.
2.4.2.3.1 PCI Interface
The IB6566 South Bridge fully implements a 32-bit PCI master/slave interface, in accordance with Revision 2.2 of the PCI Local Bus Specification. On the STL2 server board, the PCI interface operates at 33 MHz, using the 5V-signaling environment.
2.4.2.3.2 PCI Bus Master IDE Interface

The STL2 server board provides a dual external USB connector interface. Both ports function identically and with the same bandwidth. The external connector is defined by Revision 1.0 of the USB Specification.
2.4.2.4 Compatibility Interrupt Control
The IB6566 South Bridge provides the functionality of two 82C59 Programmable Interrupt Controller (PIC) devices, for ISA-compatible interrupt handling.
2.4.2.5 APIC
The IB6566 South Bridge integrates a 16-entry I/O APIC that is used to distribute 16 PCI interrupts. It also includes an additional 16-entry I/O APIC for distribution of legacy ISA interrupts.
2.4.2.6 Power Management
One of the embedded functions of IB6566 South Bridge is a power management controller. The STL2 server board uses this to implement ACPI-compliant power management features. STL2 supports sleep states s0, s1, s4, and s5.
2.5 Chipset Support Components
2.5.1 Legacy I/O (Super I/O) National* PC97317VUL The National* PC97317VUL Super I/O Plug-and-Play Compatible with ACPI-Compliant Controller/Extender is used on the STL2 server board. This device provides the system with:
• Real-time Clock (RTC) • Two serial ports • One parallel port • Floppy disk controller (FDC) • PS/2-compatible keyboard and mouse controller • General purpose I/O pins • Plug-and-Play functions • A power management controller
The STL2 server board provides the connector interface for the floppy, dual serial ports, parallel port, PS/2 mouse and the PS/2 keyboard. Upon reset, the Super I/O (SIO) reads the values on strapping pins to determine the boot-up address configuration.
STL2 Server Board Architecture Overview STL2 Server Board TPS
Revision 1.1 2-14
2.5.1.1 Serial Ports
Two 9-pin connectors in D-Sub housing are provided for serial port A and serial port B. Both ports are compatible with 16550A and 16450 modes, and both are re-locatable. Each serial port can be set to one of four different COM-x ports, and each can be enabled separately. When enabled, each port can be programmed to generate edge- or level-sensitive interrupts. When disabled, serial port interrupts are available to add-in cards.
2.5.1.2 Parallel Port
The STL2 baseboard provides a 25-pin parallel port connector. The SIO provides an IEEE 1284-compliant 25-pin bi-directional parallel port. BIOS programming of the SIO registers enables the parallel port and determines the port address and interrupt. When disabled, the interrupt is available to add-in cards.
2.5.1.3 Floppy Port
The FDC in the SIO is functionally compatible with floppy disk controllers CMOS 765B and 82077AA. The baseboard provides the 24-MHz clock, termination resistors, and chip selects. All other FDC functions are integrated into the SIO, including analog data separator and 16-byte FIFO.
2.5.1.4 Keyboard and Mouse Connectors
The keyboard controller is functionally compatible with the 8042A. The keyboard and mouse connectors are PS/2-compatible.
2.5.1.5 Real-time Clock
The PC97317VUL contains an MC146818-compatible real-time clock with external battery backup. The device also contains 242 bytes of general purpose battery-backed CMOS RAM. The real-time clock provides system clock and calendar information stored in non-volatile memory.
2.5.1.6 Plug-and-Play Functions / ISA Data Transfers
The PC97317VUL contains all signals for ISA compatible interrupts and DMA channels. It also provides ISA control, data, and address signals to transfer data to/from the BMC and the BIOS flash device. This ISA subsystem transfers all SIO peripheral control data to the IB6566 South Bridge as well.
2.5.1.7 Power Management Controller
The PC97317VUL component contains functionality that allows various events to allow the power-on and power-off of the system. This can be from PCI Power Management Events, the BMC, or the front panel. This circuitry is powered from stand-by voltage, which is present anytime the system is plugged into the AC outlet.

2.5.2 BIOS Flash The STL2 baseboard incorporates an Intel® 5V FlashFile™ 28F008SA Flash Memory component. The 28F008SA is a high-performance 8 Mbit memory that is organized as 1 MB of 8 bits each. There are 16 64-KB blocks.
The 8-bit flash memory provides 1024K x 8 of BIOS and nonvolatile storage space. The flash device is directly addressed as 8-bit ISA memory. For more information, see the 5 Volt FlashFile™ Memory (28F008SA x8) Datasheet.
2.5.3 External Device Connectors The external I/O connectors provide support for a PS/2 compatible mouse and keyboard, an SVGA monitor, two serial port connectors, a parallel port connector, a LAN port, and two USB connections.
2.6 Interrupt Routing The STL2 server board interrupt architecture implements two I/O APICs and two PICs through the use of the integrated components in the IB6566 South Bridge component. The STL2 server board interrupt architecture allows first and second PCI interrupts to be mapped to compatible interrupt through the PCI Interrupt Address Index Register (I/O Address 0C00h) in the IB6566 South Bridge.
The IB6566 South Bridge uses integrated logic to map 16 PCI interrupts to EISA/ISA. In default or Extended APIC configurations, each PCI interrupt can be independently routed to one of the 11 EISA interrupts. The interrupt mapping logic for PCI interrupts is disabled when the make bit in the corresponding I/O APIC redirection table entry is disabled (clear). This interrupt routing mechanism allows a clean transition from PIC mode to an APIC during operating system boot.
2.6.1 Default I/O APIC The IB6566 South Bridge integrates a 16-entry I/O APIC which is used to distribute 16 PCI interrupts.
2.6.2 Extended I/O APIC An additional 16-entry I/O APIC is integrated in the IB6566 South Bridge to distribute EISA/ISA interrupts. This additional I/O APIC is enabled only when the IB6566 South Bridge is configured to the Extended APIC configuration.

Revision 1.1

3. Server Management
This section describes the features of the server management subsystem for the STL2 server board. The server management subsystem consists of the BIOS, hardware, and firmware features built into the server board. These features provide hardware monitoring, control, and logging to improve the reliability, availability, and serviceability of the server system.
The server management subsystem conforms to the IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) v1.0 specification. IPMI defines a standardized, abstracted, message-based interface between system management software and the platform management hardware.
The following comprise the major elements of the server management architecture for the STL2 server board.
• Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) • Sensors • Sensor Data Record (SDR) Repository and System Event Log (SEL) • Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) Information
3.1 Baseboard Management Controller The STL2 server management functionality is concentrated in the BMC. The BMC is comprised of a Dallas* Semiconductor DS80CH11 (or equivalent) microcontroller and associated circuitry located on the STL2 server board. The BMC and associated circuits are powered from a 5-V DC standby voltage, which remains active when system power is switched off, but the AC power source is still on and connected.
A major function of the BMC is to autonomously monitor system management events and log the occurrence in the nonvolatile System Event Log (SEL). The events being monitored include over/under temperature and over/under voltage conditions, fan failure, or chassis intrusion. To enable accurate monitoring, the BMC maintains the nonvolatile Sensor Data Record (SDR) from which sensor information can be retrieved. The BMC provides an ISA host interface to SDR sensor information, so that software running on the server can poll and retrieve the server’s current status. The BMC also provides the interface to the monitored information and SEL that System Management Software, such as Intel® Server Control, uses to poll and retrieve the platform status.
The BMC performs the following functions:
• Monitors server boad temperature and voltage • Monitors processor presence and controls Fault Resilient Boot (FRB) • Detects and indicates baseboard fan failure • Manages the SEL interface • Manages the SDR Repository interface • Monitors the SDR/SEL timestamp clock • Monitors the system management watchdog timer • Monitors the periodic SMI timer

3.3 ACPI The Advance Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)-aware operating system can place the system into a state where the hard drives spin down, the sytem fans stop, and all processing is halted. In this state the power supply is still on and the processors still dissipate some power, such that the power supply fan and processor fans are still running.
Note: ACPI requires an operating system that supports this feature.
The ACPI sleep states discussed below are defined as:
• s0: Normal running state • s1: Processor sleep state. No content is lost in this state and the processor caches
maintain coherency. • s4: Hibernate or Save to Disk. The memory and machine state are saved to disk.
Pressing the power button or another wakeup event restores the system state from the disk and resumes normal operation. This assumes that no hardware changes were made to the system while it was off.
• s5: Soft off. Only the RTC section of the chip set and the BMC are running in this state.
The STL2 server board supports sleep states s0, s1, s4, and s5. When the server board is operating in ACPI mode, the OS retains control of the system and the OS policy determines the entry methods and wake up sources for each sleep state – sleep entry and wake up event capabilites are provided by the hardware but are enabled by the OS.
With future versions of Microsoft* Windows* 9X that support ACPI, the system BIOS supports only sleep states s0, s1, and s5. With future versions of Microsoft Windows NT* that support ACPI, the system BIOS will support sleep states s0, s1, s4, and s5.
3.4 AC Link Mode The AC link mode allows the system to monitor its AC input power so that if AC input power is lost and then restored, the system returns to one of the following preselected settings:
• Power On
STL2 Server Board TPS Server Management
Revision 1.1
3-27
• Last State (Factory Default Setting) • Stay Off
The AC link mode settings can be changed by running the BIOS Setup Utility.
3.5 Wake On LAN Function The remote power-on function turns on the system power by way of a network or modem. If the system power is set to Off, it can be turned on remotely by sending a specific packet from the main computer to the remote system.
Note: The standard default value of the remote power-on function is “Disabled”. The Wake-on-LAN / Ring function can changed by setting the option to “Enabled” in the BIOS Setup Utility.

STL2 Server Board TPS Basic Input Output System (BIOS)
Revision 1.1

4. Basic Input Output System (BIOS)
This section describes BIOS embedded software for the STL2 board set. The BIOS contains standard PC-compatible basic input/output (I/O) services, standard Intel® server features, plus the STL2 system-specific hardware configuration routines and register default settings, embedded in Flash read-only memory (ROM). This section also describes BIOS support utilities (not ROM-resident) that are required for system configuration and flash ROM update.
The BIOS is implemented as firmware that resides in the flash ROM. Support for applicable baseboard peripheral devices (SCSI, NIC, and video adapters), which is also loaded into the baseboard flash ROM, is not specified in this document. Hooks are provided to support adding BIOS code for these adapters; the binaries must be obtained from the peripheral device manufacturers and loaded into the appropriate locations.
4.1 BIOS Overview The term BIOS, as used in the context of this section, refers to the system BIOS, the BIOS Setup and option ROMs for on-board peripheral devices that are contained in the system flash. System BIOS controls basic system functionality using stored configuration values. The terms flash ROM, system flash, and BIOS flash may be used interchangeably in this section.
The term BIOS Setup refers to the flash ROM-resident setup utility that provides the user with control of configuration values stored in battery-backed CMOS configuration RAM. The System Setup Utility (SSU), which also provides this functionality, is discussed in a separate document. BIOS Setup is closely tied with the system BIOS and is considered a part of BIOS.
Phoenix Phlash* (PHLASH.EXE) is used to load predefined areas of flash ROM with Setup, BIOS, and other code/data.
The following is the break-down of the STL2 product ID string:
• 4-byte board ID, ‘STL2’ • 1-byte board revision, starting from ‘0’ • 3-byte OEM ID, ‘86B’ for standard BIOS • 4-byte build number • 1-3 byte describing build type (D for development, A for Alpha, B for Beta, Pxx for
production version xx) • 6-byte build date in yymmdd format • 4-bytes time in hhmm format
Basic Input Output System (BIOS) STL2 Server Board TPS
Revision 1.1 4-30
4.1.1 System BIOS The system BIOS is the core of the flash ROM-resident portion of the BIOS. The system BIOS provides standard PC-BIOS services and support for some new industry standards, such as the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface Specification, Revision 1.0 and Wired For Management Baseline Specification, Revision 2.0. In addition, the system BIOS supports certain features that are common across all the Intel servers. These include:
• Security • Intel Multi-Processor Specification (MPS) support • Server management and error handling • CMOS configuration RAM management • OEM customization • PCI and Plug and Play (PnP) BIOS interface • Console redirection • Resource allocation support
BIOS setup is embedded in flash ROM and provides the means to configure on-board hardware devices and add-in cards. For more information, refer to Section 4.2, Setup Utility.
4.1.2 Flash Update Utility The system BIOS and the setup utility are resident in partitioned flash ROM. The device is in-circuit reprogrammable. On the STL2 platform, 1 MB of flash ROM is provided. The STL2 BIOS does not support a SecureBIOS feature like some server products from Intel. This is because the addition of SecureBIOS increases boot time, and complexities, and does not provide compelling benefits for the STL2 platform.
The Phoenix Phlash Utility may be used to reprogram the BIOS operational code located in the flash ROM. A BIOS image is provided on a diskette in the form of a binary file that is read by the Phoenix Phlash Utility. Baseboard revisions may create hardware incompatibilities and may require different BIOS code.
4.1.2.1 System Flash ROM Layout
The flash ROM contains system initialization routines, BIOS strings, BIOS Setup, and run-time support routines. The exact layout is subject to change, as determined by Intel. A 16-KB user block is available for user ROM code and another 128-KB block is available for custom logos. The flash ROM also contains compressed initialization code for on-board peripherals such as SCSI, NIC, and video controllers. The BIOS image contains all the BIOS components at appropriate locations. The Phoenix Phlash Utility can be used to reprogram the BIOS operational code areas.
At run time, none of the flash blocks is visible at the aliased addresses below 1 MB due to shadowing. Intel reserves the right to change the flash map without notice.
A 64-KB parameter block in the flash ROM is dedicated to storing configuration data that controls extended system configuration data (ESCD), on-board SCSI configuration, OEM configuration areas, etc. The block is partitioned into separate areas for logically different data. Application
STL2 Server Board TPS Basic Input Output System (BIOS)
Revision 1.1
4-31
software must use standard advanced programmable interrupts (APIs) to access these areas and may not access the data directly.
4.2 Setup Utility This section describes the ROM resident setup utility that provides the means to configure the platform. The setup utility is part of the system BIOS and allows limited control over on-board resources such as the parallel port and mouse. The following topics are covered below:
• Setup utility operation • Configuration CMOS RAM definition • Function of the CMOS clear jumper
4.2.1 Configuration Utilities Overview Configuration of on-board devices is done using the setup utility that is embedded in flash ROM. Setup provides sufficient configuration functionality to boot a system diskette or CD-ROM. The System Setup Utility (SSU), which is discussed in a separate document, is released on diskette or CD-ROM. Setup is always provided in flash for basic system configuration.
The configuration utilities modify CMOS RAM and Non-Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM) under direction of the user. The BIOS POST routines and the BIOS Plug-N-Play Auto-configuration Manager accomplish the actual hardware configuration. The configuration utilities always update a checksum for both areas, so that any potential data corruption is detectable by the BIOS before the hardware configuration takes place. If data is corrupted, the BIOS requests that the user reconfigure the system and reboot.
4.2.2 Setup Utility Operation The ROM-resident setup utility configures only on-board devices. The setup utility screen is divided into four functional areas. Table 4-1 describes each area:
Table 4-1. Setup Utility Screen
Functional Area Description
Keyboard Command Bar Located at the bottom of the screen. This bar displays the keyboard commands supported by the setup utility.
Menu Selection Bar Located at the top of the screen. Displays the various major menu selections available to the user. The server setup utility major menus are: Main Menu, Advanced Menu, Security Menu, System Menu, Boot Menu, and the Exit Menu.

Revision 1.1 4-32
4.2.2.1 Entering Setup Utility
During POST operation, the user is prompted to enter Setup using the F2 function key as follows:
Press <F2> to enter Setup
After the F2 key is pressed, a few seconds might pass before Setup is entered while POST finishes test and initialization functions that must be completed before Setup can be entered. When Setup is entered, the Main Menu options page is displayed.
4.2.2.2 Keyboard Command Bar
The bottom portion of the screen provides a list of commands that are used for navigating the Setup utility. These commands are displayed at all times, for every menu and submenu.
Each Setup menu page contains a number of features. Except those used for informative purposes, each feature is associated with a value field. This field contains user-selectable parameters. Depending on the security option chosen and in effect via password, a menu feature’s value can be changeable or not. If a value is cannot be changed due to insufficient security privileges or other reasons, the feature’s value field is inaccessible. The Keyboard Command Bar supports the following:
F1 Help Pressing F1 on any menu invokes the general Help window. This window describes the Setup key legend. The up arrow, down arrow, Page Up, Page Down, Home, and End keys scroll the text in this window.
Enter Execute Command The Enter key is used to activate submenus when the selected feature is a submenu, or to display a pick list if a selected feature has a value field, or to select a subfield for multi-valued features like time and date. If a pick list is displayed, the Enter key will undo the pick list, and allow another selection in the parent menu.
ESC Exit The ESC key provides a mechanism for backing out of any field. This key will undo the pressing of the Enter key. When the ESC key is pressed while editing any field or selecting features of a menu, the parent menu is re-entered. When the ESC key is pressed in any submenu, the parent menu is re-entered. When the ESC key is pressed in any major menu, the exit confirmation window is displayed and the user is asked whether changes can be discarded.
↑↑ Select Item The up arrow is used to select the previous value in a pick list, or the previous feature in a menu item’s option list. The selected item must then be activated by pressing the Enter key.
↓↓ Select Item The down arrow is used to select the next value in a menu item’s option list, or a value field’s pick list. The selected item must then be activated by pressing the Enter key.

←← →→ Select Menu The left and right arrow keys are used to move between the major menu pages. The keys have no affect if a submenu or pick list is displayed.
F5/– Change Value The minus key and the F5 function key are used to change the value of the current item to the previous value. These keys scroll through the values in the associated pick list without displaying the full list.
F6/+ Change Value The plus key and the F6 function key are used to change the value of the current menu item to the next value. These keys scrolls through the values in the associated pick list without displaying the full list. On 106-key Japanese keyboards, the plus key has a different scan code than the plus key on the other keyboard, but it still has the same effect.
F9 Setup Defaults Pressing the F9 key causes the following to appear:
Setup Confirmation
Load default configuration now?
[Yes] [No]
If “Yes” is selected and the Enter key is pressed, all Setup fields are set to their default values. If “No” is selected and the Enter key is pressed, or if the ESC key is pressed, the user is returned to where s/he was before the F9 key was pressed, without affecting any existing values.
F10 Save and Exit Pressing F10 causes the following message to appear:
Setup Confirmation
Save Configuration changes and exit now?
[Yes] [NO]
If “Yes” is selected and the Enter key is pressed, all changes are saved and Setup is exited. If “No” is selected and the Enter key is pressed, or the ESC key is pressed, the user is returned to where s/he was before the F10 key was pressed, without affecting any existing values.
4.2.2.3 Menu Selection Bar
The Menu Selection Bar is located at the top of the screen. It displays the various major menu selections available to the user:

4.3 CMOS Memory Definition Only the BIOS needs to know the CMOS map. The CMOS map is not defined in the BIOS EPS. The CMOS map is available in the NVRAM.LST file generated for every BIOS release. The CMOS map is subject to change without notice.
4.4 CMOS Default Override The BIOS detects the state of the CMOS default switch. If the switch is set to “CMOS Clear” prior to power-on or a hard reset, the BIOS changes the CMOS and NVRAM settings to a default state. This guarantees the system’s ability to boot from floppy.
Password settings are not affected by CMOS clear. The BIOS clears the ESCD parameter block and loads a null ESCD image. The boot order information is also cleared when CMOS is cleared via jumper. The configuration data for the on-board SCSI controllers is not cleared during a clear CMOS event as each device controls its own default settings
If the Reset Configuration Data option is enabled in Setup, ESCD data and BIOS Boot specification data is cleared and reinitialized in next boot.
4.5 Flash Update Utility The BIOS update utility (Phoenix* Phlash.exe) loads a fresh copy of the BIOS into flash ROM. The loaded code and data include the following:
• On-board video BIOS, network controller BIOS, and SCSI BIOS. • BIOS Setup utility. • User-definable flash area (user binary area). • OEM logo (splash screen).
When running Phoenix* Phlash in interactive mode, the user may choose to update a particular flash area. Updating a flash area takes a file or series of files from a hard or floppy disk, and loads it in the specified area of flash ROM.
Note: The Phoenix Phlash utility must be run without the presence of a 386 protected mode control program, such as Windows* or EMM386*. Phoenix* Phlash uses the processor’s flat addressing mode to update the flash part.
Basic Input Output System (BIOS) STL2 Server Board TPS
Revision 1.1 4-44
4.5.1 Loading the System BIOS The BIOS update utility (PHLASH) loads a new copy of the BIOS into Flash ROM. The loaded code and data include the following:
• On-board Video BIOS and SCSI BIOS • BIOS Setup Utility • Quiet Boot Logo Area
When running PHLASH in interactive mode, the user may choose to update a particular Flash area. Updating a flash area loads a file or a series of files from a hard or floppy disk into the specified area of Flash ROM.
To manually load a portion of the BIOS, the user must specify which data file(s) to load. The choices include
• PLATCBLU.BIN • PLATCXLU.BIN • PLATCXXX.BIN • PLATCXLX.BIN • PLATCXXU.BIN
The last three letters specify the functions to perform during the flash process:
• C = Rewrite BIOS • B = Rewrite Bootblock • L = Clear LOGO area • U = Clear user binary • X = place hold
This file is loaded into the PHLASH program with the /b=<bin file>.
The disk created by the BIOS.EXE program will automatically run phlash /s /b=PLATCXLU.BIN command in non-interactive mode. For a complete list of phlash switches, run phlash /h.
Once an update of the system BIOS is complete, the user is prompted for a reboot. The user binary area is also updated during a system BIOS update. User binary can be updated independently of the system BIOS. CMOS is cleared when the system BIOS is updated.
4.5.2 OEM Customization An OEM can customize the STL2 BIOS for product differentiation. The extent of customization is limited to what is stated in this section. OEMs can change the BIOS look and feel by adding their own splash screen/logo. OEMs can manage OEM-specific hardware, if any, by executing their own code during POST by using the “User-supplied BIOS Code Support.”
STL2 Server Board TPS Basic Input Output System (BIOS)
Revision 1.1
4-45
4.5.2.1 User-supplied BIOS Code Support
A 16 KB region of flash ROM is available to store a user binary. The Phoenix* Phlash utility allows the OEM or end user to update the user binary region with OEM supplied code and/or data. At several points throughout POST, control is passed to this user binary. Intel provides tools and reference code to help OEMs create a user binary. The user binary must adhere to the following requirements:
• To allow detection by BIOS and protection from run time memory managers, the user binary must have an option ROM header (i.e., 55AAh, size).
• The system BIOS performs a scan of the user binary area at predefined points during POST. Mask bits must be set within the user binary to inform the BIOS which entry points exist.
• The system state must be preserved by the user binary (all registers, including extended and MMX, stack contents, and nonuser binary data space, etc.).
• The user binary code must be relocatable. The user binary is located within the first 1 MB of memory. The user binary code must not make any assumptions about the value of the code segment.
• The user binary code is always executed from RAM and never from flash.
• The user binary must not hook critical interrupts, must not reprogram the chip set, and must not take any action that affects the correct functioning of the system BIOS.
• The user binary ROM must be checksummed. The checksum byte must be placed in the last byte position of the 16K ROM.
The BIOS copies the user binary into system memory before the first scan point. If the user binary reports that it does not contain run time code, it is located in conventional memory (0-640 KB). Reporting that the user binary has no run time code has the advantage of not using limited option ROM space (therefore, more option ROMs may be executed in a large system configuration). If user binary code is required at run time, it is copied into and executed from option ROM space (0C8000H – 0E7fffH).
At each scan-point during POST, the system BIOS determines if the scan-point has a corresponding user binary entry point to transfer control to the user binary. Presence of a valid entry point in the user binary is determined by examining the bitmap at byte 4 of the user binary header; each entry point has a corresponding “presence” bit in this bitmap. If the bitmap has the appropriate bit set, an entry point ID is placed in the “AL” register and execution is passed to the address computed by (ADR(Byte 5)+5*scan sequence #).
During execution, the user binary may access 11 bytes of extended BIOS data area RAM (EBDA). The segment of EBDA can be found at address 40:0e. Offset 18h through offset 22h is available for the user binary. The BIOS also reserves eight CMOS bits for the user binary. These bits are in an unchecksummed region of CMOS with default values of zero, and will always be located in the first bank of CMOS. These bits are contiguous, but are not in a fixed location. Upon entry into the user binary, DX contains a ‘token’ that points to the reserved bits. This token is of the following format:
Basic Input Output System (BIOS) STL2 Server Board TPS
Revision 1.1 4-46
MSB LSB
15 12 11 0
# of bit available –1 Bit offset from start of CMOS of first bit
The most significant four bits are equal to the number of CMOS bits available minus one. This field is equal to seven, since eight CMOS bits are available. The 12 least significant bits define the position of the CMOS bit in the real-time clock (RTC). This is a bit address rather than a byte address. The CMOS byte location is 1/8th of the 12-bit number, and the remainder is the starting bit position within that byte. For example, if the 12-bit number is 0109h, user binary can use bit 1 of CMOS byte 0108h/8 or 021h. It should be noted that the bits available to the user binary may span more than one byte of CMOS (i.e., a value of 07084h indicates that the upper nibble of byte 10h and the lower nibble of byte 11h are reserved for the user binary).
The following code fragment shows the header and format for a user binary:

Table 4-22. Format of the User Binary Information Structure
Offset Bit Definition
0 Bit 0 = 1 if mandatory user binary, 0 if not mandatory. If a user binary is mandatory, it will always be executed. If a platform supports a disabling of the user binary scan through Setup, this bit will override Setup setting.
Bit 1 - 1 if runtime presence required (other than SMM user binary portion, SMM user binary will always be present in runtime irrespective of setting of this bit).
0, if not required in runtime, and can be discarded at boot time.
Bit 7:2 – reserved for future expansion.
1 - 0fh Reserved for future expansion.
If this structure is not present (bit 0 of the scan point structure is not set), the system BIOS assumes that the user binary is not mandatory (bit 0 in User Binary Information Structure assumed cleared), and it is required in run time (bit 1 in User Binary Information Structure assumed set).
4.5.2.3 OEM Splash Screen
A 128-KB region of Flash ROM is available to store the OEM logo in compressed format. The BIOS will contain the standard Intel logo. Using the Phoenix Phlash utility, this region can be updated with an OEM supplied logo image. The OEM logo must fit within 640 X 480 size. If an OEM logo is flashed into the system, it will override the built in Intel logo.
Basic Input Output System (BIOS) STL2 Server Board TPS
Revision 1.1 4-48
Intel supplies utilities that will compress and convert a 16 color bitmap file into a logo file suitable for Phoenix8 Phlash.
4.5.3 Language Area The system BIOS language area can be updated only by updating the entire BIOS. The STL2 platform supports English, Spanish, French, German, and Italian. Intel provides translations for all the strings in five languages. These languages are selectable using Setup.
4.5.4 Recovery Mode In the case of a corrupt or an unsuccessful update of the system BIOS, the STL2 can boot in recovery mode. To place STL2 into recovery mode, move the boot option jumper (jumper block 1J15 pins 9-10) to the recovery boot position. By default and for normal operation, pins 9 and 10 are not jumpered.
Recovery mode requires at least 8 MB of RAM in the first DIMM socket, and drive A: must be set up to support a 3.5-inch, 1.44-MB floppy drive. (Note: the system requires 64 MB to boot). This is the mode of last resort, used only when the main system BIOS will not come up. In recovery mode operation, PHLASH (in non-interactive mode only) automatically updates only the main system BIOS. PHLASH senses that STL2 is in recovery mode and automatically attempts to update the system BIOS
Before powering up the system, the user must obtain a bootable diskette that contains a copy of the BIOS recovery files. This is created by running the “crisdisk.bat” from the compressed recovery file distributed with the BIOS.
Note: During recovery mode, video will not be initialized and many high-pitched beep tones will be heard. The entire process takes two to four minutes. When the process is completed, the tones will stop. The user may see a “Checksum error” on the first boot after updating the BIOS. This is normal and should correct itself after the first boot.
If a failure occurs, it is most likely that of the system BIOS .ROM file is corrupt or missing.
After a successful update, power down the system and remove the jumper from pins 9-10. Power up the system. Verify that the BIOS version number matches the version of the entire BIOS used in the original attempt to update.
4.6 Error Messages and Error Codes The system BIOS displays error messages on the video screen. Prior to video initialization, beep codes inform the user of errors. POST error codes are logged in the event log. The BIOS displays POST error codes on the video monitor.
Following are definitions of POST error codes, POST beep codes, and system error messages.
4.6.1 POST Codes After the video adapter has been successfully initialized, the BIOS indicates the current testing phase during POST by writing a 2-digit hex code to I/O location 80h. If a Port-80h card (Postcard*) is installed, it displays this 2-digit code on a pair of hex display LEDs.
STL2 Server Board TPS Basic Input Output System (BIOS)
Revision 1.1
4-49
Table 4-23. Port-80h Code Definition
Code Meaning
CP Phoenix* check point (port-80) code
The table below contains the port-80 codes displayed during the boot process. A beep code is a series of individual beeps on the PC speaker, each of equal length. The following table describes the error conditions associated with each beep code and the corresponding POST checkpoint code as seen by a ‘port 80h’ card. For example, if an error occurs at checkpoint 22h, a beep code of 1-3-1-1 is generated. The “-“ means there is a pause between the sequence that delimits the sequence.
Some POST codes occur prior to the video display being initialized. To assist in determining the fault, a unique beep-code is derived from these checkpoints as follows:
• The 8-bit test point is broken down to four 2-bit groups. • Each group is made one-based (1 through 4) • One to four beeps are generated based on each group’s 2-bit pattern.
Example:
Checkpoint 04Bh will be broken down to: 01 00 10 11 And the beep code will be: 2 – 1 – 3 – 4

5.2.1.3 Perfoming a BIOS Recovery Boot
In the event of BIOS corruption, the following procedure may be used to perform a BIOS Recovery.
1. Obtain the BIOS update file package from Intel’s iBL or http://support.intel.com web site.
2. A file called “crisis.zip” is one of the files included with each STL2 BIOS release file package. Unzip the “crisis.zip” file to a directory on your hard drive.
3. Obtain a blank formatted floppy diskette (the floppy diskette should not be a bootable DOS diskette). Insert the blank formatted floppy diskette in the floppy drive.
4. From the MS-DOS prompt on an MS-DOS system, run the “crisdisk.bat” file from the directory you created on your hard drive. Follow the instructions on the screen to create the BIOS recovery floppy diskette. Note: The BIOS recovery floppy diskette will not be created correctly under the MS-DOS prompt window of a Windows operating system. It is necessary to use a MS-DOS system to create the BIOS recovery floppy diskette.
5. Power off the STL2 system, unplug the power cord, and remove the chassis panel.
6. Remove the spare jumper from pins 11-12 on jumper block 1J15.
7. Reinstall the jumper on pins 9-10 (BIOS Recovery) of jumper block 1J15.
8. Insert the BIOS recovery floppy diskette into the diskette drive.
9. Reinstall the chassis panel, plug in the power cord(s), and power on the system.
10. The screen will remain blank while the BIOS Recovery is performed. A number of beeps will occur during the BIOS update. The floppy drive access light will not turn off when the BIOS recovery is completed. Allow four minutes for the BIOS recovery to complete. If a POST card is installed in a PCI slot during the BIOS recovery, you can tell that the BIOS recovery is complete when code “EC” is displayed. When the BIOS Recovery is complete, it is safe to power off the system.
11. Power off the system, unplug the power cord(s), and remove the chassis panel.
12. Remove the BIOS Recovery jumper from pins 9-10 and store the jumper on pins 11-12.
13. Replace the chassis panel, plug in the power cord(s), and power on the system.
14. Perform a CMOS clear following the BIOS recovery.

This is different than the BIOS update process for other Intel server products, which prompts the user to confirm the BIOS update before proceeding.
IMPLICATION: STL2 BIOS updates will be performed immediately after booting to the BIOS update diskette, without user confirmations.
WORKAROUND: No workaround exists for this issue.
STATUS: Fixed. This issue has been fixed in STL2 BIOS Release 1.2 (Build 16) and later versions.
8. BMC firmware update process powers down the system automatically upon completion
PROBLEM: When a STL2 BMC firmware update is performed, the STL2 BMC firmware update utility automatically powers down the system upon successful completion, without prompting for power down confirmation first. This is different than the BMC firmware update process for other Intel server products.
IMPLICATION: The STL2 system will automatically power down when a BMC firmware update is successfully completed. This is expected behavior.
WORKAROUND: No workaround exists for this issue.
Errata Listing STL2 Server Board TPS
Revision 1.1 8-94
STATUS: Fixed. STL2 BMC firmware update versions 1.17 and 11.17 and later versions include a user prompt that the system will power down after a key is pressed, instead of immediately powering down the system upon successful completion of the BMC firmware update.
9. BMC firmware corruption is a non-recoverable condition
PROBLEM: If BMC firmware corruption occurs on a STL2 board during the BMC firmware update process or by other means, this is a non-recoverable condition. This is different from some other Intel server boards which include a BMC force update jumper to allow recovery from BMC firmware corruption.
IMPLICATION: Since BMC firmware corruption is a non-recoverable condition, extra care should be taken to not accidentally power down the STL2 system when a BMC firmware update is in process.
WORKAROUND: No workaround exists for this issue.
STATUS: NoFix.
10. STL2 / SC5000 system exceeds system level acoustic specification
PROBLEM: Intel server boards typically have a protection circuit on the 12 V fan voltage pin that reduces the fan voltage from 12 V to approximately 11 V. On the STL2 server board, there is no protection circuit on the fan voltage pin, so the full 12 V is supplied to the system fan. This causes the system fans to run faster than designed and pushes the system acoustic level over Intel’s specified 50 dBA acoustic limit.
IMPLICATION: If the SC5000 chassis fans are connected directly to the STL2 baseboard fan connectors, the STL2/SC5000 system will exceed the acoustic level of 50 dB. This issue may affect customers using third party chassis.
WORKAROUND: A fan extension cable with a 5 ohm resistor has been designed (Intel part number A38302-001), which lowers the system fan voltage. Two fan extension cables are includes in the STL2 server boxed board. It is necessary to use a fan extension cable with each of the SC5000 system fans in order to lower the system level acoustics below 50 dBA. Customer using third party chassis should evaluate their system’s acoustics and use the fan cable if desired to lower system level acoustics.
STATUS: NoFix.
11. PIO IDE mode 3 drives causes no boot condition
PROBLEM: The STL2 server board will not boot with a PIO IDE mode 3 drive connected. Only PIO modes 0 and 4 IDE drives work with the STL2 server board.
IMPLICATION: PIO IDE mode 3 drives cannot be utilized with the STL2 server board.
WORKAROUND: No workaround exists for this issue.
STATUS: NoFix.
12. SC5000 350 watt power supply fan failure not reported in the SEL
PROBLEM: When a STL2 server board is installed in the SC5000 chassis, a 350-watt power supply fan failure will currently light the front panel fault LED but there will be no corresponding system event log (SEL) entry for this failure.
STL2 Server Board TPS Errata Listing
Revision 1.1
8-95
IMPLICATION: SC5000 chassis 350-watt power supply fan failures will not be recorded in the STL2 server board SEL.
WORKAROUND: No workaround exists for this issue.
STATUS: Fixed. This erratum has been fixed in STL2 FRU/SDR v. 4.3.6.
13. Boot order issue with SCSI CDROM drives
PROBLEM: The STL2 server board changes the boot order of an installed SCSI CDROM drive when a CDROM is not loaded in the CDROM drive. The SCSI CDROM drive is moved to a bottom of the boot priority list in BIOS setup when the system is booted without a CDROM in the CDROM drive.
IMPLICATION: The customer may need to set the boot order of the SCSI CDROM drive in <F2> BIOS setup prior to booting the system from a bootable CDROM, otherwise the system may not boot from the bootable CDROM.
WORKAROUND: Set the boot order of the SCSI CDROM drive in <F2> BIOS setup just prior to booting the system from a bootable CDROM.
STATUS: Fixed. This issue is fixed in STL2 BIOS Release 1.4 (Build 18) and later versions.
14. Three percent no boot failure following battery replacement due to Super I/O errata
PROBLEM: Due to an erratum with the Super I/O PC97317 component, approximately three percent of STL2 server boards will not boot following user replacement of an expired battery.
IMPLICATION: When the battery is replaced on the STL2 server board following battery expiration, there is a three percent chance that the board will not boot.
WORKAROUND: No workaround exists for this issue.
STATUS: Fixed. This issue has been fixed in STL2 BIOS Release 1.2 (Build 16) and later versions.
15. Red Hat Linux 6.1 installation issue
PROBLEM: The driver for the onboard Adaptec* AIC-7899 SCSI controller included in the Red Hat Linux 6.1 distribution does not load during the first part of the installation. The error message “SCSI HOST 0 ABORT TIMED OUT – RESETING” appears.
IMPLICATION: Difficulties installing Red Hat Linux 6.1on the STL2 server board may be encountered.
WORKAROUND: Red Hat Linux 6.2 SBE2 includes the correct drivers to allow normal installation. Install Red Hat Linux 6.2 or update the Adaptec drivers in Red Hat Linux 6.1.
STATUS: Fixed. This erratum is fixed in Red Hat Linux 6.2 SBE2.
16. SC5000/SR2050 chassis HSC firmware update is not possible with the STL2 server board installed
PROBLEM: It is not possible to update the SC5000 or SR2050 chassis’ HSC firmware with the STL2 server board installed in the chassis. This is because the STL2 server board does not support an I2C interface connection between the server board and the chassis’ hot swap backplane / SAF-TE card. The universal
Errata Listing STL2 Server Board TPS
Revision 1.1 8-96
versions of both the SC5000 and SR2050 chassis include the latest version of HSC firmware available. Any changes to the chassis HSC firmware will be made by incorporated by the ECO process.
IMPLICATION: It is not possible to update the SC5000 or SR2050 chassis’ HSC firmware with the STL2 server board installed.
WORKAROUND: It is possible to update the SC5000 or SR2050 chassis’ HSC firmware with the L440GX+ server board installed. If a non-universal version of the SC5000 or SR2050 chassis requires an update to the HSC firmware, a L440GX+ board may be installed in the chassis in order to perform the HSC firmware update.
STATUS: NoFix.
17. Red Hat Linux 6.2 SBE2 and 7.0 only recognize 64MB of memory with BIOS Release 1.2 and 1.3
PROBLEM: STL2 server boards programmed with BIOS Release 1.2 (Build 16) or BIOS Release 1.3 (Build 17) running Red Hat Linux 6.2 SBE2 or 7.0 will recognize only 64 MB of the total installed memory, regardless of the actual memory size installed on the server board. Other operating systems recognize the total installed memory size.
IMPLICATION: Only 64 MB of the total installed memory will be recognized by Red Hat Linux 6.2 SBE2 or 7.0.
WORKAROUND: This issue does not exist when using STL2 BIOS Release 1.1 (Build 15).
STATUS: Fixed. This issue is fixed in STL2 BIOS Release 1.4 (Build 18) and later versions.
18. STL2 System Setup Utility does not allow display or modification of system IRQ mapping
PROBLEM: The STL2 System Setup Utility (SSU) v. 1.R.1 does not contain an option to display or allow modification of the system IRQ mapping.
IMPLICATION: STL2 server board system IRQ mapping information cannot be displayed or modified within the SSU.
WORKAROUND: If system IRQ modification is necessary, this can be done in the STL2 BIOS Setup utility.
STATUS: NoFix.
